I or AI? A Poetry Guessing Game invites you into a unique literary experiment where human creativity meets artificial intelligence. This collection pairs original poems by Michelle A. Thibeault with poems generated by Claude, an AI created by Anthropic. Each pair explores the same themes: spirituality, nature, time, loss, and wonder. One voice is human, shaped by lived experience. The other is AI, trained on patterns and language.

Your challenge? Read each pair and guess which poem is which.

Sometimes the styles diverge dramatically. Other times, the line between human and machine becomes surprisingly blurred. You'll find yourself searching for clues: Which voice feels more authentic? Which relies on imagery versus direct statements? Does the poem's structure give it away, or does emotion transcend its source?

But this isn't just a guessing game. It's an invitation to pay close attention to language, to notice what makes a voice distinctive, and to wrestle with questions that matter more than ever in our AI-assisted age: Can creativity exist without consciousness? Is poetry about authentic expression or skillful craft? Does knowing the source change how a poem makes you feel?

At the end of each section, you'll find answer keys and reflections on the pairings. No worries, no one is keeping score. The real discovery isn't about winning; it's about what happens when you slow down and truly read, when you let both voices speak to you, and when you're willing to sit with uncertainty.

Whether you're a poetry lover curious about AI, or an AI enthusiast curious about poetry, I or AI? offers a playful yet profound exploration of creativity, authenticity, and the beautiful, complicated question of what makes art resonate.

Part of the I & AI series exploring the intersection of faith, creativity, and artificial intelligence.

Take the challenge. Read closely. Trust your instincts. Both poems are real, and both have something worth hearing (reading).

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.

Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
